IP conflict?

IP no conflict... only about 5 connected devices (incl RPi) at that point of time.

Hey guys, ive heard of rasberry Pi before, but i just dont get what is it for. sorry, not really an expert when it comes to this kinda stuff.

Ive tried googling it, still dont have a clear idea of what it is capable of, and what ppl are using it for.

I would very much appreciate if anyone could help me out with this.

Thank you in advance.

Hi munk3y

The Pi is a Linux box. Don't let the minimalist design fool you. It has the basic things in a box you need for a computer. Just attach a USB keyboard/mouse, power it up and you are good to go!

Did you know if you have a CEC-HDMI enabled TV, you could use your TV remote to control your XBMC?

I just found out and it works flawlessly on with my TV remote...

guys, can you confirm that we can no longer buy raspberry pi from element 14 sdn bhd? when i try to order one today, they give me links to other site. one being thundermatch. they sell it for rm160. a bit expensive, especially when you already bought one for RM110 before. i owned one but recently think it is not enough. want to make new project.

since XBMC 11. But if you dont hav a CEC remote you can also download remotes for your android device and control through your home network. try yatse, i like it very much

yeah I actually prefer yatse than the tv remote man. so convenient, especially the homescreen and notification widget

RM111 + RM29 (Casing) = RM140 also about the same as the shop already.

You can only buy from them directly if you have an account with them.

First thing to check is the USB power supply/USB hub... when not enough power, it causes other issues...

Check yr ip address, ifconfig, look at eth0 , what is the ip addr ...

In command line, type tail -f /var/log/messages

Look for eth0 and other errors like below...



I face this strange problem, when I plug in my USB mouse, the eth0 get a lot of errors and when I plug out, everything works fine... I suspect it could be power supply issues but even using 2A iPod USB power supply still same issue...

Now running command line mode with HDMI to DVI converter to LCD monitor...

Yes, the max current output from the Pi is limited. By removing unused devices, you may free up enough current for the devices who need it.

I bought a Belkin 4port Powered hub, which solved most of the problem.

Also remember to use a quality (branded) USB Power supply. From the forum, most problems are also solved when you swap your RM10 charger with a REAL Apple/Samsung/branded charger....

apple charger gives out 4.6v only, not 5v.

no need connect monitor, just use putty to remote control... ez...

This link (http://www.righto.com/2012/10/a-dozen-usb-...b-apple-is.html) has a review on all the branded charges that are provided with your phone/tablets. Most original charges will works fine....

I am using my HTC 5V1A and it works fine, even without a powered hub. I have a Asus N10 Wifi and Logitech Wireless for KB/Mouse dongle connected.

But I did notice the Wireless dongle can get really hot after long usage....

Thanks friends! It's back up online. I have no idea why, I think it's the problem with my router.

It’s the first anniversary of the Pi’s launch day.

Happy Birthday Raspberry Pi Foundation!


(Note: Raspberry Pi launched on a leap day last year, 29 Feb, 2012) - http://www.raspberrypi.org

is raspi gonna release a new version soon? or is there any slightly hint that they gonna do so?

thinkin wanna get another unit

i saw online, i think on element14, thundermatch is a distro for pi, wondering whether i can just walk into lyp and get one?

no. traditionally thundermatch is a bit bodoh, they wouldn't understand what you're asking.
